Dark Symphony – Book Trailer of the Day
This is a pretty upscale book trailer for a paranormal romance, Dark Symphony by Christine Feehan. I have no idea how much it cost, but I’d guess, $5000 or more. It has elaborate video, of reasonable quality — both the acting and the cinematography — a voiceover, and a good soundtrack. The song was created just for the video.
It’s done by the wonderful folk at Circle of Seven, or “cosproductions.”
They even do wire work I think! Notice the floating at 1:37. On the other hand, the voice over for this should have been low and sexy, whereas this voice as a dead ringer for my gay camp counselor. (He was an actor/waiter, so it’s possible! *waves*) When he said the line (1:47) “But a darkness followed them… something … EVIL!” I snorted my drink. Oh, you were serious. Sorry.
It’s four minutes long. Aiya! But there is an advantage to accumulating a lot of video book trailers (this is just one of many)… fans can do their own remixes:
Sweet.
